OK this film is a 1991 remake of the 1962 original. Stars Nick Nolte, Robert DeNiro, Jessica Lange, and a young Juliet Lewis.
So this is a decent, 3-star suspense/thriller film and good in its own right, but the reason to watch it is some good red pill stuff and some good performances by various actors.
Nolte plays a small town lawyer who buried evidence that would have likely exonerated his client, Max Cady, played by DeNiro. Nolte is a white knight who decided society was better off if his client went to jail. So his client goes to prison for 14 years for raping an underage girl. While in prison he learns to read and figures out that Nolte screwed him and he comes back for revenge. He has also bettered himself by becoming focussed on a mission, educating himself, and strengthening his body.
The film is not great but what is great is the contrast between the two main characters. On the surface, Nolte is the good guy, seemingly successful. But he is a series of compromises, from his marriage, daughter, mistress, career, etc. Without giving away any plot details, I'll note that he also cuts corners with how he deals with the challenges in his life.
Cady on the other hand is seemingly worthless. Dirty, illiterate, no good. But he has worked to better himself and has several admirable characteristics, despite being a criminal. Patient, determined, strong, focussed, etc.
Cady comes back and instead of killing Nolte decides to patiently terrorize him by stalking the people in his life. Notably, he seduces Nolte's mistress (both mentally and physically) and his daughter (mentally). I can remember seeing these scenes before I took the red pill and was repulsed by how two different women could be seduced by such a cad (Max CADy). But I took the red pill long ago and these scenes are a little less shocking, though still demonstrating top game. I won't give away his pickups, but they are worth watching and rewatching.
Overall and enjoyable film and particularly worth watching for life and red pill aspects.
